Research Projects

Our research areas cover a wide range of disciplines from archaeology, geology, biology, pathology, medical, food chemistry, environmental sciences and interact with different industries from the oil and gas sector to the food industry.

We grow our plants in a temperature controlled greenhouse, can use microbiological fermenters and use clean lab conditions for sample preparations. The sample types range from rocks, soils to plants and other biological tissues to man-made materials such as archaeological artefacts. The techniques we use to elucidate the molecular form of the element of interest are similarly wide ranging.
